Rancho La Puerta was a place that I wanted to get to for over twenty years after reading about it in a magazine. My stay there was everything I imagined and more, a wonderful healthy retreat with equally inviting staff and teachers.

The “Ranch” provides space—that which is most lacking in today’s life. Space to breathe freely amidst nature. To relax. To renew, reflect and redirect one’s longer-living life. To explore the possibilities of changing course in one’s life. To that end we often refer to our program as “The Door to the Future…Glorious Wellness” which refers to your future, one strengthened and emboldened by good health and fearless life-long learning, which unleashes the willingness to change…for the better.

Our motto has always been “Siempre Mejor,” which means “Always Better.” Our co-founder, Deborah, believes this must also mean “Always Changing.” The Ranch reflects this, literally, from the ground up.
